The Chainsmokers Placed Significantly Higher Than We Expected On Billboard's Hottest Songs Of All Time

To celebrate Billboard's 60th anniversary of the Hot 100 Chart, the music publication decided to publish the biggest hit songs of all time. So what do Mariah Carey's “We Belong Together,” Usher's “Yeah!,” Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” and Luis Fonsi's “Despacito” have in common? They all ranked lower than The Chainsmoker's hit single “Closer.”

With The Chainsmoker's ranking #13, Chubby Checker's 1960 single “The Twist” ranked #1, Santana and Rob Thomas' “Smooth” ranked at the #2 position, Bobby Darin's 1959 single “Mack The Knife” ranked #3, and Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' “Uptown Funk!” ranked #4.
